I cant believe we're actually on schedule during DEAD week! Wish u all luck on finals!
Work is hectic and I'm tired, but this comic keeps me going. Honestly I hate my painting class, but it's really inspiring me to go and try out new methods for this comic, really getting me to want to try out new colors and things. When this comic started Raspberry had me on a very strict color scheme and it took a lot of convincing to let me just do what I want.

So these days I just do whatever I feel like lol, instead of Raspberry's paint by numbers in the earlier parts, and I think thats what the characters ended up having such odd fashion choices.
Anyways if ur in the SF Area I'm going to a consignment shop on saturday and I'm so excited to rock my outfit I've had planned for like a week lol

If you wanna check it out (it wont be posted for awhile) my instagram is uncleinuyasha

The Smoothie Arc is over and im excited to get this story moving along! I was super excited to paint the cover page、 i havent done that for the comic in forever!

Its been super busy for us lately、 so i appreciate the support from our readers.

Its Black Friday、 and if you work retail i wish you luck、 because I hurt my back and i am still required to go to my shift. Lol couldn't really get out of bed、 but i guess someone has to do their shopping for whatever reason.

Please be nice to retail workers. Hope you all enjoy the upcoming stuff!

The first part of the this little arc is done and I'm so thankful to all of for reading! Thank you so much!

This really is a passion project and I'm glad that there's people reading it! I hope you are all enjoying this comic as much as I am! Thank you for keeping up with us every week!

Lol Apollo is soooo Apollo, I love her.

Also like the drink Eros was drinking earlier was most definitely blood, he's a vampire, so you know? It's so foggy in SF, and the building cast such large shadows, plus a subway, I'm sure vampires could live just fine there.

I think my favorite mystic creature we get to know in the series are the demons tho, I think the original idea for the series definitely cared more for the vampire aspects. But ehh, it's all cool, magic and spells and whatnot.

Haha I'm glad the plot is starting to get there, hope you're excited to see the next part in this story. Thank you again for reading!

Also we played around with the paint mixes and finally got Juan and Aurora to scan at their actual painted colors, because our scanner has a lot of trouble picking up colors tbh, it's wild, like idk if this is a universal problem, but like we can have like 2 colors look identical to the naked eye and then look completely different to the scanner. I notice with a lot of darker colors our scanner just turns them to a dark grey and it's just so disappointing sometimes.
So I'm gonna try to figure out consistent paint mixtures so that we can try to get the colors matching more.

It took forever to get Yuchun's skintone, a few scans of him almost make him look white, when really he's sorta peachy? Hik's hair color was tricky as well, because for the longest time we could only get the scanner to capture that darker blue it was for a while, but we both wanted his hair a more powdery blue, but the light blue would scan as white, so like his hair is actually mixed with a little green and it scans as light blue now!

Apollo's colors have never been a problem, idk why, probably because she's Apollo and that's just how she is.

I've been working a week now!!! But luckily I had enough time to paint the comic! I have the next couple of days off, so gonna get around to the next couple of pages!

My job has been a lot less stressful than my last job, but I haven't gotten paid yet, so idk if I can speak well of it yet haha.

Anyways thank you again for reading the comic! Really glad to see consistent viewers on this it really means a lot!
I hope you're all enjoying August so far and prepping for the fall. Which is kinda creeping up on us?

Do any of the Kira Kira Apollyon characters have fall birthdays?

Apollo and Eros' both have August 1st, but that's still summer. Juan's is July 7th, although he does love Halloween! Prometheus' is November 11th, so I think that is a fall birthday!!!

Also, I have a paper to write and a few quizzes to do this week, isn't dead week supposed to be for studying? Not for you know? Papers and test? It just makes you one big ball of stress, hope y'all are already enjoying your summers and drinking plenty of beverages. Sportacus wants you to take care of yourself

Hehe this chapter has been fun to paint when Tiffany said we'd do a chapter mostly set in an aquarium I was so done tbh, but I actually really enjoyed planning the colors. I've never really painted people in aquariums before so this was experimental for me.

I'm taking an art class right now, it's like art history online and like I've tried taking it like probably 3 times now, but keep withdrawing from it. I hope I can actually finish it this quarter because honestly I have no clue why I keep leaving the class? Boredom I guess? I mean it's just a forum with notes.

Anyways hope you all have a good time at whatever you're up to, school, work, life. Take care of yourselves and thanks for reading!

Sorry, thank you for your patience with us. Raspberry was supposed to do the inking because I hurt my hands playing Katamari Damacy and so it just ran late! She almost never does the inking, so I guess it slipped her mind until I asked about it!

On an update on my life, since I rarely post!
I quit my job and now have time to devote back to the comic! But unfortunately it times up with a ton of schoolwork piling up! :'/

I quit on the basis of not being able to balance my life, but it was nice working for awhile, bought lots of art supplies, but never had time to paint!

Anyways, can't wait to finish this chapter, because honestly the next one sounds a lot funner visually.

I hope you're all enjoying the story unfolding, the Crystal weaponry is one of my fave things in the story and I hope it makes sense in the long run.

Hope all is well, remember to be nice to retail workers, because seriously that's how I ended up running out of work in tears and quitting. :D
